We have a notebook program for students which contains a customized user account/profile. At this time we are doing it in a brute force way though: creating a user account with the wallpapers, etc. we want and then manually copying that user's User Template/English.lproj file over to "/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj" Apps are being deployed as part of our deployment configuration.
I know there must be a better way to do the customization bit. Preferably I would create a base using InstaDMG/AutoDMG and then use a package or script to configure the default user. Or, convert the image source and drop the files in. However, it is important to note that the machines will NOT be managed after imaging. They are delivered to students, not employees. So, no MCX, no profile management. Can anyone point me in the correct direction?
